Park Sleep Fly Airport Hotel Parking Blog

With so many ways to get to the airport, why would travelers need to drive themselves; why would they need to park?  Let’s look first at some of the alternate options available.  Public transportation, hired cars and carpooling all present alternate ways to get to and from the airport, but driving oneself has unique and positive effects.

Public transportation, such as trains, subways and buses all exist to transport the public about, more efficiently and for less money than other modes of transportation, such as hired cars.  However, the two main issues with traveling via public transportation are inconvenience and timing.  If you’re carrying lots of heavy luggage with you, trains and buses can be difficult; you have to carry everything, probably for a considerable distance, and find a way to fit it beside you or over your head.  Trains don’t have a “check your luggage” feature.  Furthermore, relying on public transportation, particularly buses, can be risky when you’ve a flight to catch.  There are many possibilities for delays that could cost you your next connecting ride to the airport.

Hired cars are often expensive.  While you won’t have to worry much about where to stow your luggage while you ride, or making it to the airport or not, the fact is that the cost of traveling by taxicab or limousine is often too expensive.

Carpooling, or getting a ride from a friend or family member is a good way to save money, but can encounter obvious hassles, such as different flight times, different terminals, traffic delays and personal delays.

Overall, driving yourself will allow you to bypass many unecessary delays and costs, while affording you the convenience of knowing you’ll have space for your luggage.  While you’re parking at the airport, why not enjoy a complimentary shuttle and a hotel room?  Booking your parking on ParkSleepFly will grant you all of those options.

When we travel, timing is more important than in most other activities we undergo.  If we do not wake up in time, we miss our flight.  If we leave the house too late, we miss our flight.  If we miss our first flight, we could miss our connecting flight, and so on and so forth.  When it comes to timing, a missed step or a late journey can snowball into a timing disaster.  No one can avoid all possible and unforeseen delays, but by planning ahead, travelers can impact their timing accuracy.

One of the ways travelers have always prepared early for a trip is to pack ahead of time.  To make sure all laundry and dry cleaning is ready and picked up, make sure the mail is set to be held, in advance, and to book as much of the trip ahead of time as possible.  People don’t typically walk into an airport and hope to purchase a ticket for their ideal flight right then and there, mere hours before the plane takes off.  Most now buy their tickets online.

The same can be said for hotel reservations at their destination.  But what about hotel reservations at the airport?  The best way to be on time for your early morning flight is to wake up mere minutes from the airport.  Instead of enduring what could be a long, frustrating and traffic-filled trip from your home or office to the airport, you could wake up, walk downstairs and board a complimentary shuttle, ride five minutes to your terminal, and arrive before the crowds have even left their homes, if you so choose.

When you travel, timing is everything, so why not reserve your advantage with ParkSleepFly and be certain that you’ll not only get to the airport in time to make your flight, but with time to spare.  Why would you want time to spare?  Wouldn’t that be boring?  If you bring a book with you, or something else to pass your time, you may later be grateful for the spare time.  It may help cushion the unforeseen delays, and if not, can provide some relaxation time before you travel, and that is a rare commodity.

In recent years, more and more travelers have been booking elements of their vacations online.  Airplane tickets were one of the first elements of travel that allowed for online purchase, mostly because airlines already booked tickets for travel agents using a computer system.  Hotels room booking over the internet was quick to follow for large hotel chains, but took a little while longer for inns and B&B’s.  Travel packages became popular for hotel rooms and airline tickets, guaranteeing your flight and a hotel room when you arrived at your destination.

Now, the travel agent has become the internet.  ParkSleepFly is a pioneer in the realm of self-booking travel arrangements, allowing travelers to book hotel rooms and airport parking, for the purpose of making getting to the airport on time easier and more stress free.  Whereas many airports do not even allow travelers to book their parking, ParkSleepFly allows travelers to book hotel rooms and parking ahead of time, when they book their trip, and for less money.

Planning a trip used to be far more time consuming.  Travelers had to go to see a travel agent, collect reading material, go home and review it with their families, return to the travel agent (or call) to have everything booked, and then await confirmation.  Nowadays, travelers can get onto the internet (which for many doesn’t even involve dialing anymore), look up where they’d like to visit, book their airfare, hotels and parking, and print out confirmation then and there, from the comfort of their home.

While this shift has not been beneficial to travel agents who do not wish to adapt, it adds convenience for the traveler, so that more focus can be placed on enjoying the trip itself.  Imagine missing out on climbing to the top of Il Duomo to see all of Florence, Italy, or not seeing the whale breach on the port side because you’re busy rearranging your itinerary to spend one more day on vacation, when you could enjoy your trip and use the hotel’s free wi-fi later that evening to adjust your travel plans.

ParkSleepFly is part of this shift toward greater convenience, at a lower price, for travelers.

Hungry for a pre-flight cookie?  Want a meal?  How about a drink of water?  Be sure you have cash on you, or that you’ve brought your own food and water in security-approved containers, else you’re going to have a very hungry flight.  The need for cash is only temporary though; soon you’ll be able to use plastic to buy your water or pillow.

Charging for something like a cookie or an elaborate meal may be understandable, though the price of those used to be built into your ticket.  Charging for items such as a bottle of water though could prove more than inconvenient.  As the weeks go by, travel by airline seems to get more and more expensive, but it’s no fun to be grounded when you could be enjoying one last summer vacation.

That’s why ParkSleepFly wants to help to save you money by providing affordable reservations for your hotel room and parking near the airport so that you can make your flight without the stress of morning traffic and lines, and without feeling as though you’ve been forced into paying extra for what you need.

Packages include a hotel room and a given number of days of parking that usually amount to far less than parking at the airport, which can cost, at minimum, eight dollars per day.  Over one week that’s already more than fifty dollars to simply park!

Say yes to ParkSleepFly, and say no to extra charges!
